Inns of Court

Before I even speak of the landmarks of this walk, I would like to glorify Kaylee for being the best guide I have had thus far. We never had to stop and figure out where to turn, and we never got lost. She rocks!

But this was a really great walk. I was really impressed by how clean this area was. This may be a random observation, but I really loved the neat design of the fence surrounding the Royal Courts of Justice. By Clement's Inn, I loved how green the grass was, even in January! It was especially fun for me to see the Old Curiousity Shop because I have been in Dicken's Christmas Carol four different times at the Hale Center Theatre. I was so shocked during this walk when we walked through a door, and felt like we would be walking into a building, but four feet later were standing in a wide street. And walking through the London School of Economics campus was fun, because we could see masses of people near our own age, and they looked so official. I think it's really neat that Sir John Soane turned his house into a museum; I hope to go back when I have more time. I am also in awe that a building used to be in the middle of the street, so they left a monument and reassembled the entire building elsewhere. The monument was neat, though, and I did not realize there was a difference between the city of London and Westminster. The picture of me above is me standing by the Knight's templar--I have heard of them before, so I wanted to get a picture then come home and learn more. Excellent walk!
